As I was wandering around Hongdae looking for street art, I was also looking for a morning cup of joe. There wasn’t a single cafe in sight at 10.30am in the morning. I tried the Coffee Prince cafe, alas, it
Seoul: The Hello Kitty Cafe In Hongdae
I have a weakness for the pink Japanese cat. The latest fad in Singapore is to collect the McDonald’s Hello Kitty series and I just got myself the Hello Kitty Frog Prince that comes with the purchase of a value
Seoul: The Piano Cafe In Hongdae
I was walking around Hongdae trying fruitlessly to find the Hello Kitty Cafe, when I stumbled on The Piano Cafe in a side alley of one of Hongdae’s main streets. Pity I forgot to ask for the address and cannot
Seoul: Miss Lee’s Cafe In Seoul
Enroute to San Francisco in March, I decided to do a 4-day layover in Seoul. Taking a long-haul flight directly to San Francisco was too daunting for me and I wanted to break it up. Also, I never miss a
Seoul: Churro 101 In Hongdae
Churro 101. Better than a boyfriend, is what it says. I am not sure if I agree with the tagline, but the churros are by far the best that I have eaten. I am not a fan of churros, mostly

San Francisco: Brenda’s French Soul Food

Eat More Kale
It is time to clear the fridge. Organic kale, celery, minced beef, tomatoes. They all go into making a pasta for dinner. Using a tomato sauce made from a Jamie Oliver recipe.
Detoxing With Sanacleanse
I have been feeling lousy recently. Tired. Lethargic. Sluggish. Moody. It is a combination of work stress, lack of exercise, poor diet and an overindulgence in rich food and wine on my last trip to the US. When my friend
Kaixo’s Churros Dipped In Chocolate
It is a rainy Sunday today. And I have an craving for churros dipped in hot chocolate. I have never really enjoyed churros, until I stumbled upon a little gem of a cafe that sells churros in Hongdae, during my
